No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Could you give a photo of the complete object. Also instead of trying to photo directly the signature which always has refraction and internal reflection tending to distort it - especially with clear glass can you try to take the signature on a shallow angle so the flat base relects light and the signature should appear darker. Two examples (both Orrefors) below.

By the way if you are particularly interested in Orrefors the second picture is the base of a vase that appears in the "Orrefors Glass - by Alastair Duncan" at the bottom of page 160. A lucky Ebay buy.

I know that the P refers to design by Sven Palmquist - pre 1980, after which they would have used SP.

The absence of a following letter may mean it is not glass & is therefore crystal - but I am not certain.

The 2405 would be the design number and the remaining numbers I assume refer to a particular variation of the design. For instance if it had an engraved design on it each different engraving would presumably have a different number.
